The Peabody Memphis

Legendary for its charm, elegance, and gracious Southern hospitality, The Peabody Memphis has been made world-famous for its five resident Mallard ducks, who march daily through the Grand Lobby at 11 a.m. and 5p.m. Built in 1869, the luxurious downtown hotel is on the National Register of Historic Places and continues to carry the distinction as the "South's Grand Hotel."
